  (#7) Replica Of A US Airforce Dummy

  In the months following the Roswell crash, eyewitnesses came forward claiming to have seen alien bodies near the crash site. In 1997, the US Air Force released a 231-page report admitting the weather balloon that crashed at Roswell was part of a covert government operation related to monitoring Soviet nuclear tests. During the testing phase, dummies were often dropped from balloons at high altitudes. From a distance, burned dummies may have looked like aliens.

  Do you believe the official report? If you want help deciding for yourself, you can see an actual replica of a crash test dummy used for dummy drops throughout the ‘40s and ‘50s at the International UFO Museum. Try taking a few steps back and gazing at the dummy from a distance to determine whether it could be mistaken for an alien body.

  (#5) Eyewitness Testimonies

  Many residents of Roswell, New Mexico, reported strange happenings before and after the wreckage was discovered. Eyewitnesses range from those who claim to have actually seen debris and people who merely witnessed odd things in the sky. You can read a sampling of witness testimonies at the International UFO Museum, including a story from owners of a local hardware store who supposedly saw a glowing object in the sky the night of the crash.

  (#3) Original Radio Broadcast

  When the Roswell crash was first reported back in 1947, initial stories were a bit sensational. On July 8, the local newspaper, Roswell Daily Record, ran the headline, “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch In Roswell.” Local Air Force officials would later insist the object in question was actually a weather balloon.

  The official explanation did not stop the heavy amount of reports alleging UFO activity. This would lead to over 300 flying saucer sightings in the months following the incident. If you want to hear one of the early radio broadcasts that was part of this media circus, you can do so at the International UFO Museum. Among the exhibits is an original 1947 radio broadcast that aired shortly after the incident occurred.

  At the center of the museum, there is a model of a UFO surrounded by human-sized statues of aliens. This is a replica of what the crash may have looked like if the theories about alien abductions are true. Every 20 minutes, smoke blows out of the UFO as laser noises and high-pitched alien sounds fill the air.

  (#11) The Infamous Weather Balloon Photos

  In the weeks after the Roswell crash, Star Telegraph reporter J. Bond Johnson was sent to examine the wreckage. He shot several photos of Air Force officials examining the object that crashed. These pictures were widely circulated in the months following the incident. The pictures caused much speculation due to the unusual appearance of the material.

  You can see these photographs on display at the International UFO Museum and come to your own conclusions about whether the material is extraterrestrial in origin.

  (#1) Life-Sized Model Of An Alien Autopsy

  Even decades after the incident, there are still stories of alien autopsies being conducted after the Roswell crash. One tale alleges a nurse named Naomi Selff bolted from a hospital room with a cloth over her mouth shortly after the discovery of the Roswell debris. Selff supposedly insisted she saw doctors performing autopsies on small black bodies and was repulsed by the odor.

  While this does not prove actual alien autopsies occurred, as no solid evidence has surfaced about it, there are still believers out there. At the International UFO Museum, you can see a life-sized model of an alien autopsy being performed.
